What's the difference between a "cool" big aeroplane and an "uncool one"?
Ask yourself if it would look out of place in an episode of Thunderbirds. If the answer is "No, it could have been designed by Gerry Anderson himself", it is cool. 
It's got very squat dimensions - relatively short but high & wide, so the angle of view makes a big difference, I can see why the outside might not float your boat, but surely there's no argument that it's pretty cool inside!

Definately uncool, old school airbus. It's all a bit last season, It hasn't even got a HUD. 
Mange tout!! It has a sidestick - infinitely cooler than wrestling with a Boeing yolk! In fairness next to Victors and Vulcans the 380 is never going to look any cooler than a fat accountant in sandals with a thermos whilst train spotting. Edit - on geek mode - it can have a HUD too!

It's like an 80s kitchen white good that's too big and isn't even integrated. The side stick makes it even less cool. Like having a flashing light on your tumble drier. Bodging a hud on it won't even make it cool. The only cool bit is the camera for taxing but that's only there because it's so fat. like saying mobility scooters make really obese people cool.
The A350 and B787 look way cooler inside. Your plane isn't new enough to be innovative or old enough to be classic or evoke nostalgia. Kids point and laugh at it.

Harsh - I may cry myself to sleep in the incredibly comfortable and spacious bunks..... It's like an 80s kitchen white good that's too big and isn't even integrated.

I think she's very cool - in a go ugly early kind of way
